The podcast or its hosts have been featured on several podcasts of international acclaim, including Richard Saunders' The Skeptic Zone,Шаблон:R Brian Dunning's Skeptoid,Шаблон:R Kylie Sturgess' Token Skeptic podcast,Шаблон:R the Canadian podcast The Reality CheckШаблон:R and the CSI's webpageШаблон:R.
